Accio Goblet!

Hi, it's Crystal! I have some bad news and some good news.

The bad news is that I'm living in the path of Hurricane Sandy, and there's a risk of power outages in the next couple of days, meaning I may have to take a hiatus, so I'm pre-emptively announcing it now since I obviously can't if the power goes out.

And onto the good news, I have a third character! Her name is Alexandra Volakis, and she's a 7th year student at Durmstrang. She's from a small village on the Greek island of Crete, and she's an aspiring healer.

If Alexandra had gone to Hogwarts, she probably would have sorted into Hufflepuff. She's very caring and likes to help others, hard-working, etc. She's very people-oriented and likes to be around others, though she's not the stereotypical extrovert- she's quiet, soft-spoken, supportive, and a good listener rather than the loud life of the party one usually envisions when thinking of extroverts.

Then again, like a Ravenclaw, she's a voracious reader and loves reading about faraway places that she hopes to travel to someday. In fact, she decided to sign up for the tournament because she'd get to go to Scotland. She was a chaser for the Black Team and the school team back at Durmstrang, but is substituting with Flying Club this year. She's also going to be in the Book and Charms clubs.

I'm up for Durmstrang plot and future connections of all kinds!
